The first shawl in the Norn series is Skuld. Skuld is one of the three Norns (Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld) in Norse mythology. The Norns spin the threads of life and death. The shawl show the intertwined threads of all living things.
The yarn used is dark blue and black, representing the dark and unknown future, since Skuld is the Norn representing that which should happen. It’s Sappho II from the Sanguine Gryphon in “Sleep Comes Down”. It’s also a single-ply yarn, like the yarn I imagine that the Norns spin for the threads of life.
At this point, the pattern is only available as part of the Seasons of Lace subscription.

My favourite part of this shawl are the two endpoints. I really like how the edging continues along the top and the bottom V and meet in a point on the sides.
Elegant!
